Wireless IP cameras are very hackable. Not so much hackable but with a version of Linux you can cause all sorts of trouble with other peoples wifi connections.

I've read that if you directly access the stream urls of many budget ip cameras, then you bypass their password protection.

The main issue with wifi cameras is that you can jam the connection.

Mind you, as the system above shares a single PSU, then unless the power splitter contains protection, short out one camera and the whole system goes down.

Incidently the above cameras use cmos sensors, so wont be the best in low light conditions.

Yes, cable system far more hassle and vulnerable in other ways. Some smart wireless will still switch to interference free channel. When savvy neighbours find their wireless not working, attention drawn outside to criminal presence !!!!

Cheap CCTV is there to counter scabby plebs from breaking in to steal your electrical items and jewelry, not to stop an international bank heist.

Yup but im not going to go into it on here lol. Also you don't need a password to disconnect wireless clients, an old wifi enabled laptop would do the trick. . . . .

The cameras supplied with these units are not very good resolution. We installed this system (max of 4 cameras) at ours, and the larger system (max 8 cameras) at a family members house. With both systems we discarded the supplied cameras and bought swann cameras. Capturing far better, usable footage on both systems.
We purchased from maplin last year for around this price, think they were on clearance.

Fair point - that sort of burglar will be deterred by an alarm. They are just after easy pickings.

Other burglars are more professional, in which case I doubt the way a cctv is connected well put them off.

One of these will probably be more effective.

11th Aug 2013

No mention of the camera spec. You want at least 540 TVL for a decent chance of identifying faces / registration plates. No mention of how many IR bulbs, so the night vision may be useless. Also no mention of USB on the DVR which is something you would expect on basic CCTV systems today.

Not voting based on sheer lack of info!

Cameras are 420TVL, so imagine using your mobile phone from 2003 lol.

The better ccttv cameras run the cables inside their wall mount, so it need not be exposed, but outside cameras with exposed cables could be mounted out of easy reach anyway.

Have just fitted CCTV at my house this weekend, I don't always understand the argument of IP camera vs DVR based, If you are going to record to NAS or capture card fair enough but having no means of keeping footage in my opinion is useless. I personally have a Samsung SRD442 picked up for £150 with 500GB HDD.
I like being able to search based on time or motion criteria.

As mentioned these cameras listed will be poor there are plenty of areas to save money cameras aren't one of them! I have 700TVL cameras and still wish I could step up, I strongly suggest sticking some more money and up your budget it's better having a setup that will actually help you should the worst occur, rather than think this footage is useless when it does (and then think I wish I spent more on cams)

A good site is cctvdirect.co.uk not always the cheapest but good advise if you love nearby (Leeds) Any question feel free to ask

11th Aug 2013

Can somebody explain why in cheap phone you have 8 MPix sensor (which is worth 4 pounds by the way) but FullHD CCTV cost huge amount of money? It doesn't matter if you have 420, 540 or 720TVL because it is a joke, I'd love to get a CCTV system but getting picture like from Nokia 7250, not being able to recognize the face or reg plate makes it worthless...

11th Aug 2013

Ditto Whyte901 comments above. Another consideration is the video compression that the recorder uses, even when you have better cameras it may look great live on screen but, when it saves it to the hdd it looses an amount of detail through the compression method it uses, artifacts and softness spoil the images when playing back recorded footage. I think what you must bear in mind is that these systems are at the lower end of the budget scale, and echoing the comments from Whyte901, basically the more you spend the better your captured images will be.
FYI - I have given the police footage that I have recorded on my system (which is the recorder which started this thread) connected to 4 swann 700TVL cameras, and they have commented that it has been very useful in identifying the perps.

Wrong.

1. As said IP cameras are really easy to hack from anywhere in the world, there's even an iphone app publicly available that lets you do it in the app store, who knows who could be watching.

2. Without a DVR you cannot record 24/7 for free, there are cloud based subscription services, i have enough bills and even those record the last 24 - 48 hours max, not ideal if your on holiday. Ip cameras rely on mostly cheap 'motion detection' based recording and your computer must be left on constantly for it to work, which picks and chooses when to work at the best of times let alone when its dark. "I got robbed but my motion detection didn't work / my pc wasn't on" great.

3. The affordable ip cameras are not outdoor suitable.

4. Some ip camera will require an SD card to record, yet another additional purchase + this still relies on crappy motion detection.
